By the time the coherent radiation (needed to make an image) passes
Were not talking holograms, Jimmy-boy
It is fun isn't it? I think what he was trying to convey were the effects of reflection, absortion and diffusion. Without having tried one of these devices or knowing what wavelengths they use or the characteristics of building materials at these wavelengths all I have is a gut feeling that says you'll get not so much images as locations. He's probably right about the windows being the primary vulnerability. Next time I'm at Home Debit I'm going to see if they sell more kraft paper or foil-faced insulation. Seems to me the foil is less common than it used to be. Is this a new conspiracy? Fibreglass-AG? So, if you're expecting to be raided and you don't want the fuggers to know where you are, keep the house at about 95. That should help. For about 15 seconds. If you have an illicit heat source insulate it, cool it with water and dump the heat down the drain or on the yard. Mike

I didn't get the original message so I'll reply here. No, we're not talking about lasers. But then again 'coherent' simply means 'arranged' or 'synchronized'. If you don't believe there is coherence in imaging the rays of light through a camera then you don't have a fucking clue about optics. The fact is, that if you take a lens and form an image there IS most certainly a level of coherence. You can break that coherence by simply injecting a fogged piece of glass for example. This is what the walls of the house do, they break the coherence of the original light rays so that no image can be formed on the other side of the wall. Glass howerver is reasonably transparent and as a result the light doesn't lose coherence through that. However if you attenuate the light using an aluminized mylar sheet and then break up the image using the bubble pack (the little bubbles of air absord the IR and then re-emit it out of phase with the original stream of photons - that! is coherence), walah. No usable image the cops can use against you.
